Report: 2018 Race For Illinois Governor Close To Record Costs

The candidates running for Illinois governor are on pace to spend perhaps 100 million-dollars on TV ads alone. “The Chicago Tribune” reported yesterday that the Republicans and Democrats running for the state’s highest office have spent 65 million on TV ads so far, and voters won’t make their final choice til November. To put that 65 million in perspective, Governor Rauner spent 63 million-dollars on his entire campaign four years ago.
